  • Bengals' Joe Flacco: Expected to start Week 9

    The Bengals plan to start Flacco (right shoulder) against the Bears on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Flacco has been working through a sprained AC joint in his right throwing shoulder, which he sustained during the Bengals' Week 8 loss to the Jets. There was optimism that the veteran quarterback would start Sunday after Thursday's practice, even though he did not participate in Friday's session. With Flacco set to start under center in Week 9, Jake Browning will remain as the backup, while Sean Clifford will serve as the QB3.

  • Bengals' Joe Flacco: Questionable after missing practice

    Flacco (right shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears after being deemed a non-participant in Friday's practice.

    Per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, Flacco, who is dealing with a sprained AC joint in his right throwing shoulder, said Friday that he felt "pretty good" after throwing ahead of Sunday's contest. When discussing the possibility of Flacco starting versus Chicago, coach Zac Taylor noted, "I thought he did a nice job out there. I saw what we would hope to see for a guy to be able to play on Sunday. Now we'll just work through the next few days to see where it ends up." In the event that Flacco isn't ready to get the nod for Cincinnati's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Jake Browning would be in line to step in for him.

  • Bengals' Logan Wilson: Doubtful for Sunday

    Wilson (calf) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    The veteran linebacker from Wyoming didn't practice all week due to a calf injury and is now expected to miss his first game of the season Sunday. With both Wilson and Oren Burks (groin, questionable) dealing with injuries ahead of the Week 9 matchup, Joe Giles-Harris is expected to have a larger role in Cincinnati's inside-linebacker corps.

  • Bengals' Oren Burks: Questionable for Week 9

    Burks (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Burks practiced in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday after suffering an apparent groin injury. He's played 310 total snaps (189 on special teams, 121 on defense) over Cincinnati's first eight games this season, recording 23 total tackles and a forced fumble. If the 30-year-old is unable to play Sunday, expect Joe Giles-Harris to play an expanded role in the Bengals' linebacker corps.

  • Bengals' Marco Wilson: Doubtful for Sunday

    Wilson (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    The 26-year-old from Florida didn't return to practice after missing the Bengals' Week 8 loss to the Jets with a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise that he'll likely be sidelined again Sunday. If Wilson misses the Week 9 contest as expected, Josh Newton will likely operate as Cincinnati's top reserve boundary corner.

  • Bengals' Cedric Johnson: Ready for Sunday

    Johnson (calf) was activated from the injured reserve list Friday.

    The second-year pro from Ole Miss is now set to make his 2025 debut in Sunday's matchup against the Bears after missing the Bengals' first eight games this season due to an ankle injury sustained in late August. Now fully healthy, Johnson is expected to play a depth role on Cincinnati's defensive line as the season progresses.

  • Bengals' Sean Clifford: Signs to active roster

    The Bengals signed Clifford from the practice squad Friday.

    With Joe Flacco (shoulder) questionable to face the Bears on Sunday, Clifford will provide insurance behind Jake Browning. Clifford has yet to attempt an NFL pass during the regular season.

  • Bengals' Trey Hendrickson: Doubtful for Week 9

    Hendrickson (hip) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bears, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Hendrickson aggravated his hip injury in last Sunday's loss to the Jets and hasn't practiced this week. Joseph Ossai, Myles Murphy and Shemar Stewart should see the bulk of the playing time at edge rusher for Cincinnati against Chicago.
